Secrets behind the amusing life of Junee

Menu

Magic has always fascinated me. Growing up, I was able to develop a strong liking in magic. My parents bring me to magic shows, gave me magic sets, books and even VHS tapes as birthday or Christmas presents. I have always believed that magic is far more than entertainment. I have always dreamed of becoming a magician, a famous one.

My dream didn’t turn into reality. 20+ years later, I found myself as an entrepreneur real estate agent yet a successful one. Even if my dream of becoming a magician didn’t come true, I still believe that I was gifted with magic in another form. You see, magic is more than just tricks. It’s about belief. It’s believing in something that seem impossible to be possible. I don’t mean moving mountains or turning silver into gold. I mean believing in something bigger than yourself. Believing that your dreams can actually come true if you make it.

I don’t believe in the word impossible. For me it simply means I’m-possible.

Parallel worlds continue to fascinate many people. The idea of interdimensional travel, after all, is a thrilling topic that involves quantum physics, mystery, and perhaps to some, a really active imagination. But until a widely-publicized experiment proves it, we’ll just have anecdotes from people who have experienced being transported to an alternate universe. Here are seven stories to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Ong’s Hat

One day in the 1800s, legend has it that a man named Jacob Ong threw his hat into the sky and the hat got caught in a tree. It seems the owner never found it in the tangle of leaves and branches, but he did found a new place called Ong’s Hat in New Jersey through this experience.

The tale had inspired an alternate history in which two fired Princeton professors performed experiments on quantum physics and chaos theory in a facility. These two young scientists, twins Frank and Althea Dobbs, allegedly discovered an opening to alternate dimensions in Ong’s Hat, now a ghost town.

The siblings became part of the Institute of Chaos Studies, which pioneered a device that allowed interdimensional travel known simply as the Gate. It is said that the device was able to send one of its delinquent test subjects successfully to another dimension, to another reality apart from our own.

Lerina Garcia

Ever complained about things being where they had always been? Then this story’s for you.

It stems from an email posted by a woman named Lerina Garcia on a website. Part of it claimed that she, the writer, had “jumped into a parallel universe”. Then 41-year-old Garcia said she woke up in the same room she had been in the last seven years. Going by her normal day, she dressed and drove to her company of 20 years.

Things started to be off when she arrived in the office. Her department was filled with people she didn’t know and her name wasn’t on any doors. Although nothing’s changed, she sensed something strange was happening. The fellow from her neighborhood whom she had been dating was not in his house – he could not be found! Her former boyfriend of seven years, whom she allegedly broke up with, was still with her. It’s as if nothing had happened that suggested their breakup.

All these details gone awry suggest Garcia might be troubled in the head, but she wrote that she might possibly be caught in an alternate reality.

Gadianton Canyon

It was May 1972, around 10 PM. After spending Saturday at a rodeo in Pioche, four college girls were in a Chevy back to Southern Utah University. Upon crossing the Utah-Nevada state border, they reached a fork in the highway and turned left to Gadianton Canyon. Suddenly, the road’s pavement turned from black to white. The squad U-turned thinking they took the wrong path. But, instead of a desert, the scenery changed to rolling grain fields and ponderosa pines.

One of the girls also saw four egg-shaped automobiles with bright lights, hovering over and chasing them. That’s when they sped up, saw the road return to black, found themselves surrounded again by the desert, and finally, crashed into a creek.

The next morning they made it to Highway 56, where a state trooper found them. Hardly believable was the fact that their tire tracks halted 200 meters into the desert, yet they ended up three kilometers north of the highway. Their Chevy also lost a hubcap that was never located.

The Mysterious Man of Taured

A man arrived at Tokyo International Airport one day in 1954. Upon checking in at the immigration counter, his identity was met with interrogation from the officer. It was not because his passport appeared inauthentic, but because it contained the information of his country of origin – Taured.

The man said it can be found between France and Spain, and had always been there for 1000 years. The map, however, showed the Principality of Andorra instead. His visa stamps corroborated with his claim of coming to Japan on business for five years already. Still, something was amiss.

He was then held in a hotel room until the officials arrive at clarifications. Two people stood guard at the door overnight. The next day, there was no trace of the man inside the room. Escape wasn’t possible as it would be a 15-story drop from the window. The all-out search for this mystery man yielded nothing as well.

What If The Beatles Never Broke Up

What if there is a parallel world where the Fab Four is still making music, and John Lennon and George Harrison are still alive and kicking?

James Richards allegedly stumbled upon this world after he knocked himself unconscious over a rabbit hole in Del Puerto Canyon, California. He said he woke up in a room with a strange machine and a stranger, who introduced himself as Jonas. According to Jonas, he was working for an interdimensional travel agency and transported Richards to an alternative universe through the machine.

In this world, Richards found out, all members of the Beatles were still breathing and very much part of the scene. He even got a cassette tape of a Beatles album that was released in that world, but never on Earth. It’s called Everyday Chemistry, which he gladly shared on his website.

Shadow People

Are they merely trickeries made by human eyes? What are these shadows – sometimes wispy or smoky, sometimes wearing a hat or a cloak, sometimes a man with only half a body, sometimes a figure running on its legs into closets and doors or through walls?

Someone shared an encounter on a site that collates shadow people-related stories. This person was 19 when she “spotted someone, plain as day, standing in the living room across me; I’d say about 10 feet away” form where she stood in the kitchen. This was, of course, a shadow figure. It was just shortly after midnight. While recovering with a glass of iced tea, she was spooked again by the same apparition, which now stood beside her. She screamed, and that probably woke her parents up in their New Jersey home.

The Montauk Project

The Montauk Project was said to be based in the Montauk Airforce Station on Montauk, Long Island. It was born out of the success of the Philadelphia experiment, which was able to make USS Eldridge disappear, teleport to another dimension, and show up near a Norfolk coast in Virginia. That experiment wanted to test the possibility of a ship avoiding radar detection. Many members of the project were said to have died during the experiment while the rest lost their head. Despite the casualty, teleportation allegedly occurred.

Another group was formed, named the Montauk Project now, and was headed by Dr. John von Neumann. Experiments on mind control and interdimensional travel were said to show positive results, so a success report was sent to Congress. After fears of mass mind control, the Congress supposedly stopped funding the project and ordered the operations to halt.

There are about 500 snake species on Earth. Luckily, only about two percent of this number is considered as venomous to humans. This means that there are only about 30 to 40 kinds of snakes that are poisonous.

Terre Haute Humane Society or THHS is a prominent animal welfare advocacy organization committed to helping animals, especially those that have been neglected and abused. While the organization continues to grow, it still has very limited resources. It cannot attend to all the needs of abused and abandoned animals. It needs more support from more people.

If you need more reasons why you should consider lending your hand to the cause of THHS and other similar organizations, consider going over the following inspiring stories.

Toefu, the Rescued Dog Turned Dog Whisperer

Toefu was one of the many neglected dogs discovered and rescued by police officers from the home of an elderly woman. She is a Gomer Pyle spaniel but the rescuers said that she didn’t even look like a dog when she was rescued from the cruel owners who trapped them indoors for around a year. Fortunately, with the help of the staff at the Young Williams Animal Center, she was gradually rehabilitated. Even better, she became a dog that would later on become a dog who helps other rescued dogs recover from the cruelty they suffered from their previous owners. At the Young Williams Animal Center, Toefu consoled the newcomers and helped them behave like normal and lively dogs again.

Layka, the Soldier Savior

Staff Sgt. Julian McDonald, along with his unit, was once saved by a combat dog named Layka. Layka was sent to a building where she was shot in close range by enemy combatants.

Not so long after the incident, McDonald decided to adopt her. It was not an easy decision considering how aggressive Layka used to be and given the fact that she would need extra care being an amputee dog. McDonald thought that she owed it to the dog who once saved his life to give her a nice and warm place to spend the rest of her life after retiring from her military duties. Now, Layka has become well-adapted to his new home, is living a happy life, and can even walk and run around with just three legs.

Kala and Keira, Saved from Euthanasia by Hugging

The hugging photo of this canine duo became viral on the Internet as they were about to be put down. Their photo received more than 16,000 likes and 9,000 shares on Facebook and was instrumental in allowing the animal center that cared for them to raise $3,400 to cover their medical expenses instead of having them euthanized. Eventually, they were also adopted by a kind lady who is now giving them the care and protection they deserve.

Eddie the Terrible

Eddie, a chihuahua, is not an ideal adoptee. Just like most other spoiled and strong-willed chihuahuas, Eddie is not keen on pleasing. That’s why the Humane Society of Silicon Valley wrote a funny post about them which gained attention despite exposing all of Eddie’s flaws. Thankfully, there were still expressed interest in adopting Eddie, a retired couple who don’t have dogs and are eager to fill their home with one.

8. Barry the Saintly Saint Bernard

Unlike the rest of the dogs here, Barry is not a dog rescued from a puppy mill or animal center. He was lovingly raised by a family and given proper nurturing. However, he is a dog who has already saved more than 40 lives over the course of 12 years. One the most famous of his rescue feats was a child who was lost and trapped in an ice shelf. Barry provided warmth to the child until help came.

Lulu, the Hit and Run Survivor

It was as if Lulu was sent to Earth to become the tool that will help humans in demonstrating kindness and compassion for animals. Lulu was found unable to walk after an apparent hit and run incident.

Now, she is one healthy dog who is always generous in giving love to her human friends.

Harley, the One-Eyed Hero

For around a decade, Harley lived a life being confined in a small cage in a puppy mill before he was rescued and sent to a caring home. He had a heart disease, infected moth, fused spine, gnarled toes, leg deformity, and one blind eye. The eye damage was caused by his previous human’s cruelty in sending his cage to the power wash with him inside. Thanks to kind hearts who helped save him, he is now living a happy life. His story has also inspired the “Harley to the Rescue” campaign which raises funds to help care for dogs rescued from puppy mills. Harley also joins rescue missions to help educate people about the ills of the dog breeding industry.

The animals featured here are definitely wonderful animals who deserve saving. However, it’s not only these animals they deserve praise for surviving and showing how they don’t deserve any bit of cruelty. Behind these successful stories are real people who wholeheartedly extended their help to animals. They also deserve support from other people as they continue helping animals.

Bichons Frises (pronounced as bee-shawns free-says)

Bichon Frise dogs are extremely appealing with their baby doll faces, small bodies and very fluffy. Most of the time, people would think that they are poodles because of some resemblance. Although this breed almost looks like a kid’s’ stuffed toy, it should only be handled to kids very carefully because of their tiny size.

They do not need a tremendous amount of exercise and can easily be trained. However, French Bulldogs cannot tolerate heat very well that is why owners need to monitor their temperature when the weather is hot just to make sure they do not overheat. French Bulldogs are not extreme barkers and perfect for those living in an apartment. However, they may get untidy due to shredding and some drooling. Still, adorbs right?

Papillons

Papillons are descendants of the toy spaniels from the 26th century and are often seen in paintings from way back then. They are highly active and obedient to their owners. They are also happy, friendly and alert dogs and definitely fun to be around. However, they can also be clingy and must not be separated from their owners or companions. Since they are fragile, they can easily be injured and so this breed are not perfect if you small kids around.
